Spent another enjoyable weekend in Chicago playing in a volleyball tournament on Saturday with Todd and Cynthia. Despite a bit of morning rain and an initial forecast of 100-degree weather, we made it through. We advanced out of our group as one of the final six teams in our division, where we promptly got smoked. Disappointing, but not enough to ruin a great day. It never really got all that hot, and we got to play five games, hang out on the beach, meet some fun people from other teams (including a few other Miami alumni) and take in a beautiful view of the skyline from North Beach. I love the summer in Chicago. The more I visit, the easier it is to imagine myself living up there.Today I got a much-needed day to sleep in, and then stuck around long enough to get my Dunkin Donuts fix, play some Halo, watch the US defeat Panama in the Gold Cup final, and enjoy the air conditioning on a day that did get over 100 degrees. It was nice to have a relaxing weekend before what's shaping up to be a busy and stressful (but thankfully, short) work week.

Sand volleyball on the scenic skyline of Chicago, Halo2 and watching US Soccer. Not much can beat that. 8-)
Good luck with your busy week!
And don't forget the Dunkin' Donuts! Can't get that stuff down here in the wasteland.
